6 0

First, you have to find a common denominator between 3 and 6. 3 goes into 6 evenly, so 6 is the lowest common denominator.( always go with the lowest common denominator.) Since 3 goes into 6 2 times, what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator.
1/3 x 2 = 2/6. 4/6 stays the same bc the denominator is already 6.
Now, 4/6 - 2/6 = 2/6
Lane had 2/6 of his money left.
Final answer:2/6

Answer: I believe that it might be $1.00

Step-by-step explanation: Well the problem doesn’t tell you how much money he HAD, so if you do 1/3+4/6 you should get 6/6 or 1 as the amount that Lane had.
